Grenfell: Police Say They Have 'Reasonable Grounds' To Suspect Corporate Manslaughter


Police investigating the Grenfell Tower fire have concluded there are “reasonable grounds” to suspect the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and the council’s tenant management organisation (TMO) may have committed corporate manslaughter. Chiefs from both organisations will be formally interviewed by officers as part of the criminal investigation into the tragedy that claimed at least 80 lives. A statement circulated to those involved said an “initial assessment” of seized material and witness statements had allowed police to conclude that each organisation may have committed the offence. Both organisations will be questioned under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. Read more on the Independent website.
